MOREOblivious to some
things more in storeAnd when I wept
I knew not what or when or why what forIs this earth so
great though it will not lastThrough crashing
walls what stands isone good thing one
way one chanceAnd glimmer shining
up and through the floorWill run and hide
and fade just like He said it would beforeAnd now my head
is really spinning fastI lived it all for
me and now it simply moved right pastSeeing, revealingMore is here todayDistance, no wisdomI pushed true life
away"Wonderful" have
I missed and I ignoreAnd "terrible" was
my word and was my life I became poorSelf was in my hands
and then it passedI'm left with picture
perfect thought of what we think we haveImagine when I found
I'm no saviorImagine when I knew
and saw and fell before the LordMyself none of any
good my world crashedI lived it all for
me and so it simply moved right past.

ALL PRETTY FOR
THE T.V.I see the wealthy
guyThe world in his
eyesHe need not contain
no pain or shame"And never will,"
I cryAnd I'm a dirty
wordYou know I'm so
absurdIf I write things
off as meaninglessSo I'm never heardStare and no care
into nowhereRound and round
pounds the sound insideWe never give it
upWell, I can never
live up and the box won't shut upGround me out without
a doubtWe never give it
upSo I didn't need
a book to get the certain looknowWell, I just tune
it inSo this is what
it means to liveAnd I am really
freeCause you and me
are we and howWe always fit right
inSo this is what
it means to liveAnd now I'm turning
blueWithout a thing
to doCause I'm wrapped,
enthralled and my brain it stallsI can't think it
thruGive me a second
chanceI'll learn your
happy danceCause I want to
be in, forget the sinYou'd think I'm
in a tranceHave you got the
ears to hearAnd would you draw
so nearCause it's got things
to say and us to changeYou know you needn't
fearSo make your senses
softAnd never turn it
offJust step inside
and join the rideHere's our real
God.

SO GOOD TO SEE
MEWhat is special
now?Well, I think that
I amAnd I see that we
all revolve around meAnd what I have
in my hands is what I deserveThere's no better
way to beI say, so good to
see meNow I feel I've
given so many, so muchWell here's my handsI want more, more,
moreCan you see that
I am tired of being small?That's how only
you should beI say, it's so good
to see meWhat is up and up
for youDoes hold me downStay awhile and
see that my words gleamYou know my mind
is tired of the same old soundsThat's how you wanted
it to beI say, it's so good
to see me.

IN LOVE WITH THE
GREENERYYou said, "I love
the world""I love what you've
done for me"you let my grip
goAnd played the piano
keysCouldn't even seeBoxed in by a fantasyScared of real loveYou're dead by your
destinyNow shuffling aroundShaking like a tambourineConfused like the
tideBy every star you've
seenYou took on the
worldIt took you by surpriseLike the day you
fellAnd tears fell from
my eyesStanding so tallYou said, "Yes I'll
salute you King"Lost in a forestIn love with the
greeneryApart from the crowdNever caught looking
around for a sceneLike loneliness
you're sinkingI cried of your
sinAnd every other
thing that held you downDown so far from
meTake diamonds right
nowBut I promise eternity

SOMETIMES CRYDon't delay for
a minuteCause if you do
I'll know you're too far into itI mean the world
around usThe world aroundTo keep your head
above waterTo be humble amidst
tears and laughterSometimes we need
to hideSometimes cryRun awayFar awayTo YahwehHe's my hideawayStar-studded-super-stepYou've turned around
againWell I can feel
it insideIn his sideAnd I'll tell you
what He seesBut first I must
fall down on my own kneesLet me hold your
handHolding our handsI need to lower
my headI don't know if
I canI've been so lostI don't know if
I canI really have to
fallI don't know if
I canI'll say it againI don't know if
I canAnd now we're losing
timeNo, we can't say
we never got a signThe love is all
around usAnd it surrounds
us.

DO I?She might have been
a princessShe might've been
here with usOr ride so high
and far awayIs she sleeping
safely?Is her sky the same
way?Does she know now
my own fear?She might've seen
the oceanIf I'd had the notionTo listen closely
and obeyI don't know love
- do I?He might have had
the stars inIn his eyes and
withinHe might've been
my brother nowJesus will you hold
him?Showing that you
love him?Careless I have
been with wordsHe should not see
the weatherHis joy should last
foreverPlease give him
reason to go onWell is my treasure
everAny good if I'll
neverHave the love to
give away?We might've seen
the oceanI know I've had
the notionBut I don't know
loveSo what's to say?

things are upsetWrapped in substancePlease call His
nameThis sort of drug
has got you thinkingWell I think you're

sicknessPlease call His

thruAnd I see you're

new lifeDon't, don't take
a long timeStop it's always
me and meLike the other songHe shines with grace
and peaceSo don't take too
long.

CRUCIALITYInside my selfish
thinkingIn the middle I'm
always sinkingI am so far down
I can't escapeBut all around the
trees are fallingToo much sunshine
comes inAnd so I wait another
dayWhat is brightest
in my lifeAnd what will I
receive (tomorrow)If I'm Spirit filled
will I be so content (so content with sorrow)Crucial is my mind
on ChristSo much He had to
(He had to die)Buildings empty,
standing tallPrecious people
breathe and fallWhat will you have
when all is thru?Or maybe then I
save the seaFor other people
after meInstead I am never
living nowTurn my eyes and
to the starsIs there life so
very far?Or better is there
any very nearIt is this so understand
meChrist gave so we
can be freeAnd will I wait
another dayIs this love?Is this life?This world's already
goneThis world needs
the SonBut we have so many
things to do?And so enough of
flower powerStep on ways that
make us sourWe cannot wait another
day.

TO BE AWAKEWell I'm a happy
manSo will I ever speak
my mindBut I know that
we just haven't got the timeTo be awake, to
be ashamed, will you?This world wants
to drown me with the things it's thinking ofSo now I don't want
to see or breathein this place that
cannot loveI would rather lose
my life than to ever, ever lose my mindBut in this world,
in this landIt's our thoughts
that we cannot findSo you see me run
awayAnd you wonder why
I am scaredWell, I just can't
help but think aboutthe things of which
we're not aware

PEAPODI've been standing
here so longI don't know where
I've beenI've been looking
around so longI don't know what
I've seenCan I chase away
the bluse?And will I understand
this?I been here, there,
everywhereHow can I get back
to His side?It's alrightI/ve been turning
around so longI don't know which
way is rightWe've been tripping
around so wrongI know we've lost
our sightCan He chase away
the blues?And will we understand
that?We've been here,
there, everywhereWe got to get back
to His side.

SHINEWhat is it like
when it's gone?All the day and
the night and the songAnd what seems so
realIs what keeps us
from the dawnTruly I know it
sometimesI see the reasons
and signsThat this world
can only turn so many timesIn a simple wayThough I be so wrongThough I turn awayI know where I belongFeelings all around
in meDo this, do that,
and you'll seeThat it's hard to
findJust what we need
where we seekI'll say it again
that I've triedTo find the right
ways on this rideWhere we're upside
downAnd we still will
try to hideIn a simple wayThough I be so wrongThough I turn awayI know where I belongAnd the Son will
shineAnd the reign won't
fallAnd I know insideHow He loves us
allOur hands will get
so that theyCan't pull us up
all the dayWe need to find
that now we have to say.
